    A continuum model of transcriptional bursting

    Adam M Corrigan, Edward Tunnacliffe ... Jonathan R Chubb
    Rather than switching between discrete on and off states, gene transcription exists in a spectrum or continuum of states, with a slowly changing initiation rate modulating the levels of activity.

    Thousands of novel translated open reading frames in humans inferred by ribosome footprint profiling

    Anil Raj, Sidney H Wang ... Jonathan K Pritchard
    Over 7,000 novel translated sequences have been identified from human cells, including several hundred in annotated noncoding RNA, pseudogenes and de novo assembled transcripts.

    Sex differences in learning from exploration

    Cathy S Chen, Evan Knep ... Nicola M Grissom
    A new computational analysis of decision making in mice shows sex biases in value-updating while exploring unknown options, with male mice tending to explore longer than females due to updating values more slowly.

    SIMMER employs similarity algorithms to accurately identify human gut microbiome species and enzymes capable of known chemical transformations

    Annamarie E Bustion, Renuka R Nayak ... Katherine S Pollard
    Computational reaction representations and profile hidden Markov model searches of metagenomics databases can be harnessed to accurately predict bacterial species and enzyme sequences responsible for biotransformations in the human gut microbiome.

    Developmental changes in story-evoked responses in the neocortex and hippocampus

    Samantha S Cohen, Nim Tottenham, Christopher Baldassano
    Brain responses to a narrative movie change over the course of childhood and adolescence, shifting from event-boundary responses in the hippocampus to stable and anticipatory event representations in the neocortex.

    Dynamic structure of locomotor behavior in walking fruit flies

    Alexander Y Katsov, Limor Freifeld ... Thomas R Clandinin
    A principled statistical segmentation of fruit fly walking leads to a compact model of immediate actions that can reproduce the unique behavioral sequences of individual flies.

    Sensitive remote homology search by local alignment of small positional embeddings from protein language models

    Sean R Johnson, Meghana Peshwa, Zhiyi Sun
    Protein language deep learning models can quickly and accurately translate amino acid sequences into profile hidden Markov models or a structure alphabet, dramatically improving remote homology search sensitivity without compromising space or time efficiency.

    Fast transient networks in spontaneous human brain activity

    Adam P Baker, Matthew J Brookes ... Mark Woolrich
    Non-invasive MEG recordings reveal that patterns of spontaneous activity in the resting brain are shorter lived than previously thought.

    Modulation of protein-DNA binding reveals mechanisms of spatiotemporal gene control in early Drosophila embryos

    Sahla Syed, Yifei Duan, Bomyi Lim
    TF-DNA binding regulates spatial and temporal gene expression and drives robust pattern formation by modulating transcriptional kinetics via cooperative interactions among weak TF binding sites and tuning bursting rates by reducing the time spent in the ON state.

    The dynamic conformational landscape of the protein methyltransferase SETD8

    Shi Chen, Rafal P Wiewiora ... Minkui Luo
    Integrated experimental-computational approaches were implemented to reveal the dynamic conformational landscape of a biologically relevant protein methyltransferase SETD8 for functional annotation.
